Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.22 Sound Pitch and Loudness skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A museum wants a signal that has the same pitch as Sound J, is louder than Sound J, and is higher in pitch than Sound K. The table shows: Sound J - 650 Hz and amplitude 2 cm; Sound K - 450 Hz and amplitude 5 cm; Sound L - 650 Hz and amplitude 5 cm; Sound M - 300 Hz and amplitude 2 cm. Which option gives the best choice and reason?

ASound K, because it is loud even though its pitch is lower than Sound J.

BSound M, because it is quiet and has the same loudness as Sound J.

CSound L, because it has the same frequency as Sound J and a greater amplitude than Sound J.

DSound J, because keeping every value the same makes it louder.

Solution & Explanation:The signal needs the same frequency as Sound J to match its pitch and a larger amplitude to be louder. Sound L has the same 650 Hz frequency as J and a larger amplitude, and 650 Hz is also higher than Sound K's 450 Hz.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A table shows: Sound A - 300 Hz and amplitude 2 cm; Sound B - 500 Hz and amplitude 2 cm; Sound C - 500 Hz and amplitude 5 cm; Sound D - 800 Hz and amplitude 1 cm; Sound E - 300 Hz and amplitude 5 cm. Which summary is correct?

ASound A and Sound B have the same pitch, Sound B and Sound C have the same loudness, and Sound D is the loudest.

BSound A and Sound E have the same pitch, Sound B and Sound C have the same pitch, and Sound D has the highest pitch but is the quietest.

CSound C and Sound E have the same pitch, Sound A is louder than Sound E, and Sound D has the lowest pitch.

DSound A and Sound D have the same loudness, Sound B is quieter than Sound A, and Sound E has the highest pitch.

Solution & Explanation:Sound A and Sound E are both 300 Hz, so they share pitch. Sound B and Sound C are both 500 Hz, so they share pitch. Sound D is 800 Hz with amplitude 1 cm, so it has the highest pitch and is the quietest.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Look at the wave sequence. Which description matches what changes from strip to strip?

AFrom 1 to 2, pitch changes while loudness stays the same. From 2 to 3 and 3 to 4, loudness changes while pitch stays the same.

BFrom 1 to 2, loudness changes while pitch stays the same. From 2 to 3 and 3 to 4, pitch changes while loudness stays the same.

CPitch and loudness both stay the same in every step.

DPitch and loudness both change in every step for the same reason.

Solution & Explanation:From strip 1 to 2, the number of waves changes but the height stays the same, so pitch changes while loudness stays the same. After that, the wave count stays the same and only height changes, so loudness changes while pitch stays the same.
